Re: Kribensis
Will either way we are talking one degree... in nature the water temp does go up and down depending on the month and time of day..... personally I would not loss sleep over a one degree, but if you looking for breeding than do the research on breeding them and set the temp to that.... most fish will become acustom to slight difference in water temp. and live long and happy lives....... what you want to avoid in a major swing water temp.
Examples: treating ICK you will want to raise the temp up to 82 degrees to speed up the life cycle of the ick, but you do it over a couple days, instead of turning the heater up to 82 from 76 degrees..... to quick will stress you fish and being they are sick you may lose some.
Example: Acclumating your fish ..... you do this because you want to even out the temp of the bag of water and the fishies temp to the tank water temp. think of it jumping in to a cool pool on a very hot day..... dip your toe ..... not good will loss fish at the very least heavy stress opens the door to ick and other problems
IMO I think you safe........
